Automotive automaton!
20 August 2007
- Drivers doing less and less work
- Honda has lane-changing system
- Is it too much? We want your views
Would you like your car to drive you home after a night on the town? Or does the thought of a robot-chauffeur taking you to work fill you with fear?
While this kind of door-to-door delivery is still some way off, cars are already beginning to take control.
The Mercedes CL, for instance, can automatically brake if you don't notice a car right in front of you.
The Honda Legend can do that, too - and keep you in your lane if you begin to drift over on the motorway.
Last year, VW tested a Golf that can drive all by itself - click on the links below to see it in action:

We'd like to know what you think about the prospect of cars that can drive themselves.
